A SUPPLEMENT TO THE MANTONS: GUNMAKERS. By W. Keith Neal and D.H.L. Back.
1978 1st edition. 4to (188 x 254mm). Ppvi,279. Colour frontispiece, b/w photographs, bibliography. Gilt flintlock pistol motif to purple boards, spine titled in gilt.
A great find for any gun enthusiast, and now available again after these many years. In the years following the publication of The Mantons: Gunmakers, in 1967, much extra information came to light, including many more guns. This new information is presented here in the same format as the original volume. Chapters include; John Manton and family - diary of events with additional information, further shotguns, rifles and pistols; Joseph Manton and family - diary of events with additional information, further shotguns, rifles and pistols; Thomas Manton and others. The Manton Supplement is a good read in its own right, even if you haven't seen a copy of the the original The Mantons: Gunmakers.
